Cadavers of Calaveras
Put on your white lab coat and prepare to save some lives. It’s the late 19th century and the new California State Board of Public Health is reviewing mortality schedules for each district in the state. As you look over your jurisdiction you notice something interesting about the town of Calaveras in Calaveras County in 1850. Assistant Marshall John W. Jones reported that "this district is remarkably healthy. And he was right – just two conditions were deemed responsible for the majority of the 60 deaths there that year. In your report back to the powers that be, you wisely suggest the district invest in privies and a sheriff as a way to save lives in the future. What were the top two causes of death in the town of Calaveras in 1850?
- Dysentery, shot
- Diarrhea, stabbed
- Plague, hanging
- Influenza, revenge
Good luck to anyone entering and enjoy the challenges as you learn about new resources!
